GROHL WOWS DINERS WITH THREE-MINUTE CLASSIC ROCK MEDLEY AND ACID CHAT

FOO FIGHTERS star DAVE GROHL wowed the intimate crowd at Los Angeles' Largo dinner club on Wednesday night (18Mar09) as he ripped through his favourite classic rock songs during a three-minute medley with composer/singer JON BRION.
Grohl was an unannounced guest on comedian Greg Proops' monthly Largo chat show - and he wowed diners with career tales.
But it was his jam with resident venue performer Brion which proved the highlight of the night - the pair performed classics by Rush, Foghat, Eddie Money and the Edgar Winter Group in a three-minute medley.
Grohl also performed a reading of the selected lyrics of heavy metal group Manowar.
Chatting to Proops, the rocker also recalled his first acid trip, revealing he tried to make himself a coffee while coming down from his high - and knocked himself out.
He said, "I saw this percolator... and all I could think was, 'Coffee!' So I take it down, plug it in, don’t put anything in it, and then, poof! I was thrown to the ground, in altered states, out of my mind! I was out for, like, two days."
